Dear all,

there are finally some news on how we might proceed with 304. Thanks to all
of you who shared their thoughts on this, I had some really good
discussions and the overall decision how to handle Virtualization and High
Availability in the future isn't that easy. The only common denominator in
all these discussions was the wish to separate these topics. So, here is a
proposal on a pure virtualization 304 exam:

  https://wiki.lpi.org/wiki/LPIC-304_Objectives_V3.0

The diff to 304 version 3.0 is here:


https://wiki.lpi.org/pubwiki/index.php?title=LPIC-304_Objectives_V3.0&type=revision&diff=&oldid=5108

We now have an additional topic on container virtualization as well as
another new topic about tools such as Packer, cloud-init and Vagrant. The
latter topic is closely related to the DevOps Tools Engineer exam, but,
just as the container topic, is intended for Linux Ops and won't be
suitable for Devs, as we will go into great technical detail in LPIC-3.

As usual, I hope for your feedback and comments. It's a first shot, it
certainly needs fine tuning.

Oh, and in case you're wondering what happened to High Availability... stay
tuned :)

Fabian
